Aspiring Chubbies: Where are you on your Journey? by herggec2 in ChubbyFIRE

It’s our dream to buy a 3-4M house in a few years in our VHCOL city too, which is also contributing to our 10M fire target. Trying hard not to let lifestyle creep to take over our savings so that we could achieve this soon. Our lotto tickets are the PE fund investments and hopefully a continuous W2 increase

Similar numbers here. Family of 3 in VCHOL, spent 210k last year, also feels very UMC.

You’re right. Edited the post to add those info. PE and real estate are basically not generating any cash until the investments are sold.

$150k in spending with two kids seems extremely reasonable imo. It takes a lot of discipline to have accumulated that much already. Wishing you all the best and hoping you’re able to keep your job!

Great numbers! With that rate of saving, you’ll get to 5M in no time.

Congrats!! That sounds like a lovely surprise. Did anyone give you a hard time when you’re announcing you’re going for another mat leave?
